} I wrote /usr/tmp, not /var/tmp.
Wouldn't work for me.
news: {1362} ls -l /usr/tmp
ls: /usr/tmp: No such file or directory
news: {1363} df /usr
Filesystem 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sd0s1f 196958 166260 14942 92% /usr
I'm also allergic to having world writeable directories in the same
partition as setuid executables or even any executables. I prefer
to have world writeable directories mounted nodev,noexec.
